Mack, meanwhile, will leave the Bulls tied with the most tackles for loss (75) in major college football history.

Each has their strengths and weakness. They differ greatly as players. But either one will help a team in need of an outside linebacker that can provide a pass rush.

Here are the top 3-4 outside linebacker prospects for the 2014 NFL draft:

Top 10

1. Anthony Barr, UCLA
Barr has all of the tools to be an elite edge rusher. He’s long (6-5, 255), lean, fluid, flexibility and athletic. He can dip his shoulder and bore down on a quarterback as well as anyone in the class. He is also relentless from the backside. Questions can be raised about his ability to drop in coverage, but Barr was seen covering the slot and even the No. 2 receiver.

2. Khalil Mack, Buffalo
While Barr is graceful, Mack is violent. Mack is more stout against the run. He is also well-versed dropping into coverage. Mack converts speed-to-power and uses his hands very well. Teams will also see his versatility in the Bulls’ 3-3-5 defensive scheme and consider converting him to inside linebacker or even defensive end.

3. Dee Ford, Auburn
Ford proclaimed he is better than South Carolina’s Jadeveon Clowney. While the statement is false, Ford is still a dangerous pass rusher. Ford is lightning quick off the snap, and he can get under a linemen’s pads to turn the edge.

4. Kyle Van Noy, BYU
Van Noy has been one of the most consistent linebackers in college football the past three seasons. During that time, he accumulated 191 tackles, 54.5 tackles for loss and 24 sacks. Van Noy is a polished prospect that’s shown the ability to rush the passer, play the run and drop in space.

5. Jeremiah Attaochu, Georgia Tech
Flexibility is an often overlooked attribute for pass rushers. Attaochu plays with very good body lean, which allows him to shorten the path to the quarterback. Attaochu improved as an all-around player and leader during his four seasons with Georgia Tech.

6. Trent Murphy, Stanford
Murphy led college football with 15 sacks. Murphy isn’t the best athlete but he tested better than expected at the combine. Murphy can be a big (6-5, 250), physical Sam linebacker in certain 3-4 defenses.

7. Carl Bradford, Arizona State
Bradford’s was a linebacker until the 2011 season. As a rush end the past two seasons, Bradford terrorized backfields with 39.5 tackles for loss. Bradford needs to be reacclimated to playing linebacker and to improve in coverage.

8. Marcus Smith, Louisville
Smith is long, lean (6-3, 251) and had a breakthrough senior season with 14.5 sacks. When Smith made the transition to linebacker at the Senior Bowl, he was very stiff and didn’t look comfortable.

9. Trevor Reilly, Utah
Reilly is a big (6-5, 245), physical edge defender who already played from a two-point stance. He posted 100 tackles and 8.5 sacks as a senior. The problem is he’s already 26 years old.

10. Howard Jones, Shepherd
Jones opened eyes at the NFL combine. The 235-pound Jones has 4.60-second 40-yard dash speed and a 40.5-inch vertical. He also get to the quarterback with 35 career sacks.
